Description

When adding or viewing a ticket, I'm receiving the same error as found in #2973 and #986. The traceback is as follows:

After further investigation, I discovered that the error occurs due to the fact trac initiates the database connection with charset set to 'utf8', though the database has a charset of 'latin1'.

A quick fix is to simply change line 114 in db/mysql_backend.py to

port=port, use_unicode=True, charset='latin1')

This isn't really a great fix. Instead one could change the charset after connecting after checking to see what charset the database is using, but I'm at a loss as to how I should do that.

Is this perhaps a setting that should be stored in trac.ini?

It appears to work when I put a

database_charset = latin1

under [trac]

and then this code change:

Let me know if this is helpful.

Thanks.

This seems to be a bug with MySQL:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=15949

Noted as fixed in MySQL 4.1.19, 5.0.20, 5.1.8 changelogs.

(Had the same issue, but worked with when upgraded MySQL)

This answer pointed me in the right direction. I thought perhaps some more detail could help others.

I found the following section in the file mysql_backend.py

# python-mysqldb 1.2.1 added a 'charset' arg that is required for

# unicode stuff. We hack around that here for older versions; at # some point, this hack should be removed, and a strict requirement # on 1.2.1 made. -dilinger if (self._mysqldb_gt_or_eq((1, 2, 1))):

cnx = MySQLdb.connect(db=path, user=user, passwd=password,

host=host, port=port, charset='utf8')

else:

cnx = MySQLdb.connect(db=path, user=user, passwd=password,

host=host, port=port, use_unicode=True)

# This is the original line

self._set_character_set(cnx, 'utf8')

# This is the change I made

self._set_character_set(cnx, 'latin1')

ConnectionWrapper.init(self, cnx)

Hope this helps some others.

Replying to spr@cs.byu.edu:

> > checking to see what charset the database is using, but I'm at a loss as to how I should do that.

you can do that from inside the server (assumed you'r loged in) by typing a:

mysql> \s

that gives you the status-information of the actual running mysql-server, like this example:
